On a bigger scale, ''aumento'' is used as a euphemism for corrupt practices in timber and logging operations in Lowland South Americans. Logging companies supply wood from their land as an ''aumento'', a top up to their current provisions, often tied to sustainability regulations. In turn, Amazonians receive their own ''aumento'' as a cash payment for providing wood that often does not go through formal regulatory channels. The payment they receive for this is less than the open market rate, while the logging companies avoid extra costs associated with sustainable logging without jeopardising their eco-status.
